What a Unique area Caroline Bay is. So many things to do in one place. There is the Beach Area, Skate Park, Amusement Rides, Concert Venues, Reception centre for Weddings etc., Bird Avery, Tennis Courts, Basketball Hoops, Putt Putt Golf.
So Much fun in one...More

Being from Timaru I take Caroline bay for granted and probably don't go there as much as I should, but there is plenty to do from swimming, kayaking or sailing to visiting the bird aviary, Rose garden or playground. There's something for everyone here.

Yes. its all to do with extra sand arriving on the beach. It being sheltered by the harbour breakwater the sand settles there rather than being swept north

I hope anyone can tell me if it is easy to spot the blue penguins in Caroline Bay Beach. We will travel to Christchurch, and we haven't decided should we go to Akaroa or Timaru to see blue penguins. Thank you Gilbert

Research this a little more. Have not heard of penguins in timaru. Akaroa is closer to christchurch.
